Watch a Police Officer Save an Abandoned Newborn Baby's Life by Breastfeeding Her

When Colombian police officer Luisa Fernanda Urrea responded to a report of a baby that had been found all alone in the forest, she knew exactly what to do. The law enforcement officer and new mother drew the weak and starving newborn up to her chest and breastfed her.

"I'm a new mother and I have milk and I recognized the needs that this poor little creature had," Urrea told CEN.

When the paramedics arrived, they credited Urrea with saving the baby's life. But Urrea believes any woman's maternal instincts would have immediately kicked in.

"I think any woman would have given her nourishment in the same circumstances," she said.

The baby is now being cared for by the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare, which is working on finding an adoptive family for her.
